Dutch Dare Card Challenge 5

Whilst doing a spot of Blog Hopping, I noticed this challenge over on Wendy's Blog. The Dutch Dare Challenge. So, I thought I would give it a go, I just love making cards, so all the challenge sites give me an excuse to indulge myself. This weeks challenge was to use just one piece of designer paper, I stamped the new Pen Pals by Elizabeth Bell with Stazon, coloured her with Prisma pencils, which I seem to now prefer over my much loved water colours. I used a downloadable paper from Shabby Princess, Some Bazzill card stock, a couple of small stamps from an Inkadinkado set and some mega gems from my sis. I really enjoyed this one because it gave me an excuse to use yet another new stamp.

Penny Black Saturday Challenge 5

I had to make a card for an older lady friend, so this one came in handy for the Saturday pb challenge. I have stamped a couple of penny black images from the Transparent set " fresh new day " They have been coloured with Prisma pencils, I have used Shabby Princess papers, which seem to be my favourite papers at the moment, Prima flowers, a touch of stickles, gems from my sis and a Dovecraft gem brad. The little bloom stamp is from a set by inkadinkado.

Friday Sketchers challenge 6

I thought I would have a go at the Friday sketchers challenge, I used a penny black Hedgehog stamp, I have hand sewn the lace round the circles added a little ribbon, stamped the word bloom which is from an Inkadinkadoo set on an extra large brad from Dovecraft. The background card set are downloads from pink petticoat. I have added a few gems and a touch of stickles.
